Divesting DC Investments from Fossil Fuel Companies

The DC Chapter turned out crowds of people for a November 26 DC Council hearing about whether DC should divest from its investments in the fossil fuel industry. Supporters of divestment cited the looming threat of climate change driven by human-caused fossil fuel emissions. A bill introduced by Council Chair Phil Mendelson would require city managers to move money out of companies in the fossil fuel business if those companies do not change their ways.
